My lord, wake up

A group of people went south, stopped and stopped, and arrived at Qiling Mountain more than ten days later than expected.

The life on the mountain is very clean, and at the same time, it is very interesting to Xi'er. Hua Xin takes Xi'er to the forest to collect herbs and teaches him to identify various herbs. Dale, let him play with a variety of tame animals.

The few people lived in the bamboo house in the mountains like this for more than a month, fell asleep with the sound of gurgling water at night, and woke up in the morning to the crisp sound of birdsong. Xi'er had a great time playing, but when the time came, Xing Chenxiu still couldn't Leave without taking him, and set off to return to Luangcheng.

The return trip was by land, and Wei Yan deliberately took everyone to a remote town.

The town is hidden on the other side of a big mountain, very hidden, almost deserted along the way, but it is only when we arrive at the town that we find that it is very lively, and people from the rivers and lakes with all kinds of weapons come and go.

"This town is called Yangtie Town, and it is famous for making weapons. The weapons used by generations of our Wei family all come from Yangtie Town." Wei Yan explained to Xing Chenxiu, "Your horn bow also came from a village here. However, he is too old to make bows for many years, and now the shop is inherited by his son, because the bows of his family are well-made, exquisite materials, and very time-consuming, so only one bow is made in three years. Don't judge by price, only look for people who are destined."

"At this time every three years, people who are good at bow and archery in the world will gather here to try out their shooting skills for a good bow comparison."

This time Wei Yan brought Xing Chenxiu here for this reason. Ran Ying's bows are mainly divided into three types, longbows for foot combat, horned bows for riding and archery, and small bows for hunting. Xing Chenxiu did not subdivide them before. He always used the horn bow that he had grown up with since he was a child.

This time, the one who will pass the competition and choose the master is a longbow. Wei Yan thinks it is suitable for Xing Chenxiu, and it can also be used by Professor Xier in the future.

Xing Chenxiu's horned bow was paid tribute to the imperial court by the bow maker back then, he really didn't know the specific origin, he was stunned after hearing Wei Yan's words, but he was a little curious: "How does Ah Yan know so much about the bow maker? "

Although Wei Yan can draw with Xing Chenxiu in shooting and hunting, his best weapon is the long knife. If he is serious about shooting and judging techniques, he must not be Xing Chenxiu's opponent. Xing Chenxiu has never seen him have any special skills in bow and arrow. kind.

"Uh..." Speaking of this, Wei Yan quickly averted his eyes, "Bijian is tomorrow, and Xi'er is almost at the age of martial arts, so let's choose some suitable weapons for him today Bar."

Wei Yan's attitude aroused Xing Chenxiu's curiosity, and he chased him to find out the truth. Finally, after they checked into the hotel, Wei Yan couldn't resist his inquiry, so he told the story of the year in a little embarrassment.

It turned out that when Wei Yan first met Xing Chenxiu in the royal hunting ground, he was attracted by his superb archery skills, and secretly made up his mind to practice riding and archery well, so that he could compete with the eldest prince one day.

For this reason, he deliberately inquired about the source of the bow that Xing Chenxiu obtained, and personally came to Yangtie Town for this purpose, but he was young at that time, and his archery skills were far inferior to Xing Chenxiu at that time. If you don't have an advantage, you will return home.

He originally thought that he would come back after three years after he had practiced his skills, but he didn't expect that before three years had passed, the harem of the emperor had undergone tremendous changes, the eldest prince was poisoned, and he couldn't afford to be ill. He also lost the goal he wanted to strive to surpass. He is obsessed with archery but refocuses on the sword technique that he has been better at since childhood.

"You actually thought about competing with me." Xing Chenxiu was surprised and a little proud.

Although he had heard Wei Yan talk about the scene of meeting him for the first time, he is still very happy to know that the man cared about him when he was young.

"Yeah, so I'm probably destined to be attracted to you." Wei Yan hugged him from behind, and said seriously, "Now that I think about it, it still feels like a dream, that I can really have such an excellent you."

"That's because A Yan is also excellent." The attraction between the two has always been mutual, and Xing Chenxiu still remembers the constant shock that Wei Yan brought to him when they met in the military camp.

The two stayed in the room for a while, and then went to find Xi'er, who was brought by the guards downstairs to eat snacks.

Early the next morning, when they arrived at the archery field, the field was already full of people.

Xing Chenxiu had to sigh: "There are so many people!"

His voice was not loud, but because there were many people nearby and they were close together, he was still heard. A strong man with a scar on his face turned his head and looked at him disdainfully, and said with distaste: "Where did you come from?" Such a boy who has never seen the world, you know that a few years ago when the assistant king shot and killed Prince Cangchuan on the border, they used the bow of their Feng family. How many people are eagerly waiting for the three-year competition. "

Xing Chenxiu just smiled and didn't answer, but Xi'er, who was being held by Wei Yan, was unconvinced, and said to the man with his hips on his hips: "Of course my father knows, not only does he know, but he also—uh..."

Wei Yan covered Xi'er's mouth in time to prevent him from telling more inside stories.

At the beginning, the story of Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan at the border was spread to the people as a group of veterans in the Zhenbei Army retired and returned to their hometowns. The nanny often used it as a bedside story to tell Xi'er, and Xi'er always remembered it. , remembering how mighty his father and father were on the battlefield, he worshiped him tightly in his heart, so naturally he couldn't allow others to talk about it.

Xing Chenxiu put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Xi'er to stop talking, Xi'er blinked, took a long time to hold back his breath, and nodded obediently.

Wei Yan let go of his hand, diverted his attention and said, "Look, Xi'er, the competition has already begun."

There is no need to sign up for the arrow competition this time, you can go directly to the stage, and the competition is also very simple. Each person can shoot three arrows with the longbow that has been made, and the best score will be counted. If it can be closer to the bull's-eye than the former, the former will step down, otherwise, the latter will step down, and the former will remain on the stage.

In other words, if no one surpasses them all the time, they can stay on the stage until the final result is announced. The winner still needs to pay a certain amount of money to buy the longbow, but the price is reasonable, and ordinary people in the world can afford it.

After understanding the rules, Wei Yan weighed the number of people and left with Xing Chenxiu.

When the two took Xi'er for a stroll around the town, had lunch, and then returned to the competition venue, the competition really continued.

Many capable people had similar ideas to Wei Yan, so the competition really started to get exciting in the afternoon, and the old man of the Feng family also came out of the house to watch the battle.

When both contestants can hit the bull's-eye, the principal will move the target back. In this way, when the last few contestants are reached, the bull's-eye is already a long way from the stage, almost approaching the limit of the longbow's range. The last few arrows Neither hit the target.

When the organizer asked if anyone else wanted to participate, Wei Yancai handed Xi'er to Xing Chenxiu, and went up to the stage by himself. He took the longbow, and he did not rush to string the arrow, but drew it with his hands first. The bow tried the feel of the string, and only after a few times did it draw the arrow. There was no need for two more chances, and the powerful arrow flew out of the string, flashed in everyone's eyes, and hit the bull's-eye.

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. The person on the stage was stunned for a moment. Although he was unwilling, he quickly cupped his hands at him and stepped off the stage.

No one came up to challenge again, and soon Mr. Feng personally announced that the winner of this bow trial meeting was Wei Yan.

The maker of the bow, who is also the new young head of the Feng family, stepped forward to congratulate Wei Yan, and asked, "This warrior, just tried the longbow to see if he is good at it? According to the rules of the Feng family, when the bow is sold, , and can also be slightly adjusted according to the user's habits."

"Sorry, I don't want to use this bow myself, I won it for my wife."

"That's it..." The other party lowered his head and seemed to be contemplating for a while, but before he could speak, the other people who heard the words had already started arguing.

"The bow of the Feng family has agreed to find a destined person, so how can you win it and give it to someone else?"

"That's right, if you say that, isn't it just a matter of finding the winners of the previous arrow trial competitions and asking them to help you win the bow with a lot of money?"

As soon as these words came out, voices echoed from the crowd.

The head of the Feng family also had some embarrassments to Wei Yan: "Sorry, my lord, even though you won the competition, the bow should have been sold to you, and we have no right to deal with it in the future, but you heard it, according to According to the rules, the Feng family selects the user for this bow, and Feng Mou does not wish to see the bow being given to someone else out of selfishness."

Wei Yan didn't embarrass the other party when he heard the words: "Sorry, I didn't think about it. Since this is a rule, it's not easy to break it."

When he said that, the middle-aged man who had just been defeated by him was overjoyed, and was about to take the stage, when he continued: "Then I can only let my wife compete."

There is no one in ten thousand with such precise arrow skills. Although everyone noticed that Wei Yan came with a man, presumably it was the wife he said, but they didn't think that the other party was really capable of winning the bow.

Xing Chenxiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, bent down and put Xi'er on the ground, let Wei Yan, who came off the stage, lead him, and walked up the stage calmly in front of everyone's eyes.

"Excuse me, move the target back a little more."

"Since this master is in the same family as the warrior just now, as long as he can hit the bull's-eye, he can buy this bow." Afraid that Xing Chenxiu didn't understand the situation, someone explained, but he still had the mentality of watching a show in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable. within our means.

Xing Chenxiu was not angry either, and still insisted: "Master Feng, please move the bullseye back five steps."

He naturally had his own considerations in his mind. Wei Yan's arrow had already been shot in the middle. If he shoots another arrow, whether it hits the arrow and knocks it down, or misses the arrow slightly, it doesn't look good. Pull back the target.

At this time, the target was slightly beyond the best range of the longbow, and there was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Xing Chenxiu picked up the bow and tried the feel of the bow like Wei Yan did. Then, before everyone could react, he quickly wound the arrow. He pulled the bow and shot the arrow in one go. There was only a muffled sound, and the arrow stabbed into the target steadily. In the middle, Wei Yan's arrow was next to Wei Yan's, but it deviated a bit, and did not shoot down the front arrow.

Such control made the paddock strangely silent for a moment, and then thunderous applause broke out. Even the old man of the Wei family couldn't help standing up and praising: "Good arrow skills!"

Xing Chenxiu handed the arrow to the servants of Feng's family, and clasped his fists at Mr. Feng: "This long bow is a good bow, but I'm afraid it's a bit hasty to hang the string. When the bow is full, the elasticity is not enough. I have a merciless request. , I wonder if I can ask Mr. Feng to re-wind it for you?"

The shortcomings of the self-made bow were pointed out in public, so the young master of the Feng family inevitably felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time he had to admit that the other party had indeed found the only shortcoming of this longbow: "My lord, my father has closed the mountain for a long time. Never..."

"it is good."

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Mr. Feng smiled, and directly agreed to this slightly excessive request.

"Thank you." Xing Chenxiu nodded at the other party, neither overbearing nor humble, "Tomorrow I will ask my followers to send the address of the residence to Feng's house, please let me know after the longbow is repaired, and I will definitely send someone to pick it up immediately."

"No need, after the bow is repaired, the old man will send the dog to your residence."

"That's very good." Xing Chenxiu thanked him again, and soon left with Xi'er and others.

Night, the main hall of Feng Mansion.

The young master of the Feng family found Mr. Feng and couldn't wait to ask: "Father, why did you agree to make a bow for that man?"

Mr. Feng glanced at him: "Do you know who those two are?"

"My child doesn't know." The young man shook his head, "Daddy knows them?"

"Boy, the person who can recognize your weak bow at a glance must have used a better bow. I have this confidence as a father. All the best bows in the world come from the Feng family, and the best horn bow from the Feng family. Back then It was presented to the first emperor as a tribute for my father, and now the bow is in the hands of the assistant king of the dynasty, so my father dared to guess the identity of the two people today."

The man's eyes widened suddenly: "Dad means..."

Mr. Feng nodded: "There are countless people who are good at bows in the world, but if the husband and wife both have this ability, I'm afraid I can't find others. What's more, the marriage between the assistant king and General Wei has been six years since the marriage, and the young prince has just passed his birthday. Five years old, also matches the three people today."

The young master of the Feng family's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

The next day, someone sent a letter to Feng's house, which included a bank note that was double the price of the extra longbow, and also attached an address, which was the residence of General Wei in Luancheng.

No one knows when the last longbow was sent to the general's mansion, but since then, there has been another legend related to the assistant king and general Wei...
